Abstract excerpt
ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) is a large protein kinase whose best-known function is as a participant in the process of DNA damage repair, specifically lesions that result in double strand breaks. In the cells of the nervous system, however, the symptoms of children with ataxia-telangiectasia and the phenotypes of mice with engineered mutations in their ATM gene argue for a broader range of protein...
